Diseases Detections in Java

Plant diseases cause major losses in terms of production, economy, quality and quantity of agricultural products. Since, 70% of Indian economy is dependent on agricultural yield, there is a need to control the loss incurred by plant diseases. The plants need to be monitored from a very initial stage of their life-cycle to avoid such diseases. The traditional method being followed for this supervision is naked eye observation which is more time-consuming, expensive and a lot of expertise is required. So, in order to speed up this process there is a need to automate the disease detection system. The disease detection system needs to be developed using image processing techniques. Many researchers have developed systems based on various techniques of image processing. This paper reviews the potential of the methods of plant leaves disease detection system that facilitates the advancement in agriculture. It includes various phases such as the image acquisition, image segmentation, feature extraction and classification.
